Details: The Pantsir-S1 can be seen on a platform in a video posted by the Ukrainian telegram channel ATESH and on satellite images.
It did not help repel the attack by Ukrainian drones last night.
Pantsir systems are usually installed on platforms to increase the range of target detection.
These air defence systems were previously installed at the Tuapse oil depot and near other Russian critical infrastructure facilities.
